We worked with them to bring solar to their rooftop office in the Navy Yard, powering drills, laptops and phones. The Brooklyn farm houses about 2.5 acres of farming, along with several bee hives, and also some spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. We began talking about the idea of augmenting the power supply for the rooftop office over the summer and decided to give it a try as a test for some other potential projects down the line. Solar Rooftop Farm Installation The system we installed on the container office consists of 6 x Voltaic System 17W solar panels connected in parallel. The panels are attached to a custom made 6061 Aluminum bracket, which we fabricated in-house at our New Lab based main office. The New Lab building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is an office space most can only dream of. In the building we have full in house fabrication capabilities. New Lab features 3D rapid printing of any media type and many other prototyping capabilities to allow members the ability to design and create the next iteration anything they want, without leaving the building. Needless to say, we are a little spoiled now. The brackets we decided on using are set at an angle of 60 degrees, relative to the horizon, since this is the average angle of the sun for Brooklyn, New York and we wanted to have a fixed bracket and not a variable angle bracket for this installation. The panels are pointing due south and have full exposure to the sun without shading issues. The panels can supply about 107 watts of power along with up to 6 amps of current when operating under ideal conditions. The system is connected to a Lithium Polymer battery supply with approximately 400 W/h of capacity. This solar rooftop farm setup allows the Brooklyn Grange crew to be able to charge various devices, whether from the inverter on 110VAC, directly from 12VDC or the USB outlets.

October 24th we went to a party we had been expecting for quite a while: "TRIBE", one of North America's largest fetish parties, organised by Northbound Leather.
What was required to be able to attend? A payment of 40 dollars. Fetish attire (which, in essence, can be almost anything, as long as it's extreme or provocative). And a disposition to have fun and party (otherwise, what would be the point of attending, right?). And that would be all. And that was the magic of it: just about anyone with a reasonably open mind could go and have a good time. You didn't have to belong to the leather community. Nor to the BDSM one. Nor to any in particular (though, of course, it didn't hurt if you did, of course). That is, you could be just your average person with a taste for a bit of quirky fun. What at some point could have been the (underground) domain of a (maybe hard to find) group of initiated was there, open to anyone who was willing, and openly advertised through posters on numerous corners of Toronto: subversiveness gone commercial, some might complain, but I'd just say subversiveness at the reach of everyone (which is, in many ways, even more subversive).
4000 people partied in leather, latex, kilts, masks, corsets, piercings and partial nudity, enjoying a few hours of being extravagant, and witnessed a performance that portrayed some sort of ritual initiation where a fully naked individual was progressively bedecked with different fetish paraphernalia and subjected by a host of diverse and wild characters, belonging to different "fetish tribes". Truely something you don't watch everyday.
This is one very open city. Will be looking forward to next year's party!

Re-engineering the GVWS for the Cumulus
Remove GVWS control agents, GVWS frontend talks directly to LVMS, e.g., OpenNEbula
Consider the similar scenario: Globus + PBS
The "forward" network requirements to LVMS
Prepare VM image via OS Farm for users
The Cumulus frontend communicates with OpenNEbula via:
NIS LDAP: shared user management - oneadmin
NFS OCFS (Oracle Cluster File System): shared volumes for VM images
Can develop other plug-in, embedded in the Cumulus frontend, for other LVMS, e.g., VMware Virtual Infrastructure
Development of CERN OpenLab
OS Farm as server to generate VM images
Can accept HTTP requirements, or via wget:
wget http://www.fzk.de/osfarm/create?name=&transfer=http&
A Java client is embedded in the Cumulus frontend to invoke OS Farm service dynamically.
Users do not need to specify the network configuration of a VM
Users only get network access to VM, e.g., IP address or hostname + domain name
Cumulus forwards the network requirements to backend (LVMS), e.g., OpenNEbula
Network solutions on Cumulus backend:
OpenNEbula starts a VM, listens to central DHCP server, arranges an IP address to VM, returns it to Cumulus frontend
Set hostname when the virtual machine is created
Lease an IP address from the IP pool
Cumulus frontend returns the IP address or the host name to the client.

An injury has knocked out the most hyped fight in UFC history. But the replacement bout appears as a consolation prize not lacking in its own excitement.
Chad Mendes, a heavy-handed wrestler, replaces champion Jose Aldo, sidelined by a rib injury. He takes on Conor McGregor, an Irishman with big hands and a big mouth, for the interim featherweight belt at UFC 189 on July 11.
The cool Californian has endured the Dubliner's heated insults, making the fight not a hard one to sell to fans. When the stocky Mendes asked McGregor if he knew what wrestling is, the 5'9" striker responded, "I can rest my balls on your forehead," to a riotous response from the British Isles studio audience.
The winner likely faces Jose Aldo to determine the division's true champion this fall.
"UFC 189 has a new main event, as featherweight champion Jose Aldo has withdrawn from his July 11 title defense against Conor McGregor due to an injured rib," the UFC announced on Tuesday afternoon. "Chad Mendes, who had been on standby since news of Aldo's injury broke, will now face McGregor for the interim 145-pound crown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas."
The pair, both boasting 17-2 records, begin an abbreviated promotional campaign in earnest later today on a conference call in which Breitbart Sports has been invited to participate.
"I think I'm in a good position either way," Mendes told Breitbart Sports this spring, expressing confidence in another title shot despite two failed attempts against Aldo. Then, Money Mendes, a longshot to win a third match against Aldo should the Brazilian have prevailed at UFC 189 and likely waiting for an inevitable McGregor-Aldo rematch before landing a shot at title had the Irishman emerged victorious, appeared as the odd man out. He nevertheless remained optimistic. Mendes held, "If for whatever reason Conor wins, I'd like to get in there and beat the crap out of that guy and take the belt."
Conor didn't get the chance to beat Aldo. But Chad Mendes, who appeared on the outside looking in this spring, now gets his third chance at the belt and his first chance to "beat the crap out of that guy" who insulted him on international television.

Malaysia may already be established as one of South East Asia's more mature markets, but it holds significant room for growth in both the import and export fields.
The country's fresh produce business is moving into a new phase of growth characterised by opportunities in the mid- to higher-end consumer segment. Opportunities are also emerging within the Asian region, where there is significant untapped potential for Malaysia to capitalise on the underdeveloped intra-Asian trade.
These were some of the key messages to come out of last week's Fresh Produce Malaysia conference, which took place in Kuala Lumpur at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on 15-17 March.
Malaysia's first international conference and networking event for the fresh fruit and vegetable business attracted 175 delegates from 19 countries, including representatives from right across the value chain.
In attendance were major food retailers like Giant, Carrefour and Aeon/Jusco; key importers and exporters; growers and packers; companies providing services and technologies to the fresh produce business; and a range of major government agencies.
Setting the scene for the conference, Veiverne Yuen of Rabobank International noted that consumption, production, modernisation and modern retail penetration were all increasing across South East Asia. With its higher production costs, Malaysian produce must find its niche on regional and international markets, which on a price and quality basis, was likely to be "middle-to-upper-class", he noted.
Staff training key for modern retail trade
Delegates received direct insights into the opportunities and challenges for Malaysia's expanding modern retail trade through presentations from key executives at GCH Retail, which operates the Giant hypermarket and Cold Storage supermarket chains in the country. While supermarket and hypermarket retailing has expanded aggressively to reach "almost every town in Malaysia", this modern trade currently only accounts for around 10-15 per cent of fresh produce sales in the country, with the vast majority still controlled by the traditional trade, according to GCH Retail's general manager for fresh, Tham Oi Loon.
Whereas traditional markets in Malaysia only operate for four to six hours, modern retail outlets must run for 13-15 hours, making it a challenge to keep product fresh, he observed. And GCH Retail's category manager for imported fruit and vegetables Retna Malar emphasised that training staff on how to manage and merchandise fresh produce is a key issue in the bid to grow the modern trade's share of fresh produce sales in Malaysia.
"The challenge for us `the modern trade` is on the selling floor, and this goes back to people – not many people are trained, the staff turnover is fast and there is lots of migration within the modern trade," she said.
"For the past three years, we `GCH Retail` have been putting up very structured training programmes for our staff, especially when it comes to handling programmes."
Suppliers to the retail sector can also play a key role in supporting staff training and growing sales of their products in turn, as a case study presentation on the Washington Apple Commission's training seminars with the modern trade revealed.
"With better understanding of the product, the retail staff will have more confidence to carry, display and promote the product," said local Washington Apple Commission representative Eddie Saw. "We want to create not just brand loyalists, but brand activists."
Price has traditionally been the main driver of promotional programmes in Malaysia, and it remains the main front on which the modern retail trade is battling for market share. But Fresh Produce Malaysia's retail panel stressed that other factors such as staff and consumer education were becoming more important, especially as opportunities arise for newer products at the higher-end of the market.
Room for improvement on domestic supplies
Another opportunity highlighted by GCH Retail was the scope to upscale and upgrade Malaysia's own domestic fruit and vegetable production to achieve more consistent supplies, and further exploration of Malaysia's position as a supplier came on Day 2 of the conference. Norma Othman of Malaysia's Department of Agriculture set the scene by outlining the country's status as a significant net importer of fresh produce and the technical and phytosanitary hurdles facing exports. On a brighter note, she pointed out that a newly-approved international MRL standard for starfruit, one of Malaysia's signature export lines, and plans to benchmark Malaysia's SALM certification system against GlobalGAP by the end of this year, should help to overcome market obstacles.
In the subsequent presentation, Ishak Abbas of the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) underlined that Malaysia's own quality assurance standards such as SALM and Malaysia's Best were already adequate for international markets. However, certifying and convincing Malaysia's small-scale farmers, which make up the majority of the country's production base, is no easy feat, as Sathianathan Menon of QA Plus Asia-Pacific outlined. The fact that neither SALM nor Malaysia's Best guarantee a premium price has been one of the major hurdles, he explained.
Malaysian Agrifood Corporation (MAFC) has given fresh impetus to Malaysia's image as an supplier with well-marketed, innovative products since arriving on the scene four years ago, and the company's Sekar Shanmugam and Dr Chan Ying Kwok presented on the Lushious line of pre-packed vegetables and its iconic Paiola papaya respectively. While the company has made swift advances and sizeable investments in both sectors, it still faces challenges in its overall mission to propogate global standards among local producers and forge integrated supply chain management systems. Many of these hurdles centre on farming and managing the supply base. Nevertheless, Paiola papaya looks destined to ramp up its profile, with production forecast to reach 24,000 tonnes by 2013, Dr Chan noted.
Increasing sophistication drives demand for new products
At the same time, increasing modernisation and sophistication in Malaysia's production sector, driven by the likes of MAFC and the country's growing supermarket retail trade, are also creating increased demand for new supply chain technologies, which were the focus of the final session of the conference. For instance, Tracy King of Sinclair International highlighted the benefits of new labelling technologies in terms of premium presentation and branding, product differentiation and accurate retail pricing.
Market segmentation was also a theme that came through strongly in a session dedicated to discussing newer products and supplying countries to Malaysia's large and growing fresh produce import market, which was worth around US$800m last year. Berries are one of a number of higher-value products taking off in the Malaysian market, delegates heard, and health trends among consumers are a key driver of demand for newer lines. Korean strawberries in particular have been a rising star, according to Andre Loo of importer Euro-Atlantic, who noted that imports have increased from 12 tonnes to 186 tonnes in just two years, with significant potential for future growth.
Delegates were able to witness first-hand the growing demand for higher-end produce in Malaysia on an organised visit to Aeon/Jusco and Cold Storage supermarket outlets in Kuala Lumpur's Mid-Valley Mall shopping centre on Day 3 of Fresh Produce Malaysia.
A full report on Fresh Produce Malaysia will feature in the May edition of Asiafruit Magazine.

This somewhat challenging walk will reward you with great views of Snowdonia and its namesake mountain, but it will take a bit of effort, at a length of nine miles and an approximate time of up to six hours.
Start off on Watkin Path, named after the Victorian entrepreneur who created Britain's first dedicated public footpath, and follow the popular route along. You'll come to a plaque; this commemorates the opening of this path by William Gladstone. Further along is the old slate quarry, where you can see the old workers' buildings.
Enjoy the views as you make your way up and over. You can see the top of Yr Aran on your right, but even better is the view over the lake, Llyn Llydaw. When you see it, head right – left is for Snowdon – towards Y Lliwedd.
Over this ridge and you're nearly there, but be careful: although this is not a particularly difficult climb, things can quickly become tricky if the weather changes quickly. Make sure you're prepared! If the weather does start to change, it's better to be safe and turn back; don't chance it.
If the weather is on your side, however, the views are truly wonderful, and well worth the climb.

Nant Gwynant is found in the valley bottom. The A498 descends approximately 600 feed into the valley.

Somewhere you've never been? What is Nearby?
Mount Snowdon is known in its native Welsh as Yr Wyddfa, and it is the highest mountain in Wales. It is known as the busiest mountain in Britain, because it is so popular with hikers and climbers.
Probably the most famous of all the many castles in Wales, and for good reason – its sheer scale dwarfs the others, and the town walls are still remarkably intact. Tourists can walk along a small part of the walls, which offers some fantastic views over the town. Also houses the museum of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
Owned and run by the National Trust, Penrhyn Castle is an 18th Century manor house located on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Built with money from the local slate quarries the house is beautifully furnished in keeping with the design of the building and set in a large garden. This is a great place to visit with a tea shop selling a range of fresh cakes and sandwiches,
Choose a cottage in the Snowdonia area for qucik access into the Snowdonia National Park. From remote cottages overlooked by soaring mountains to cottages in small villages you can find the right level of "countryside" for you.
This large area of country side streches from the Conwy Valley towards Chester. Almost entirely countryside, many of the cottages have wonderful views across green fields, hills and woodland. Find something to suit you...
A great location to holiday on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park where 3 rivers meet and join together. Surrounded by tree covered mountains there is an alpine feel to this town. The main street is full of outdoor and climbing shops, testament to the its popularity with walkers, mountaineers and cyclists. A beautiful location and convenient to explore Snowdonia and the Conwy Valley.

Last week, I touched on this point during the start of our Finding Your Right Work class. When you're stuck, it's not a good feeling...especially if you've been feeling stuck for months, or even years.
One of the most challenging things about being stuck is feeling like there's no way out. So what do you do?
First, I encourage you to breathe, and be assured that there is a way forward. Next, take a step back to look at the big picture. How you do that is by asking this simple but deep laser-focused question:
- What is stopping you from moving forward?
Why is this a deep question? Because asking yourself this question brings an awareness to your mind of the barriers in your way.
When I work with clients one-on-one, I not only ask them this question once, but I keep asking it over and over again until we exhaust their answers. You see, theres' usually more than one thing getting in your way. When you start laying it all out, you begin to see what your next steps are.
For example, one client answered the question by saying that what was stopping her was that she wasn't clear where she was headed, that she didn't know what kind of job she really wanted. After she realized this, she knew that her next step was to explore her interests and skills, and to figure out where she wanted to be of service.
So here's your coaching question for the week:
- Think of an area of your life where you want to experience something, but haven't yet. Now ask yourself: What is stopping you from moving forward?
Take some time to answer this question over and over again until you can't think of any more answers. And here's a bonus tip: Have a friend ask you this question over and over. There's something about having someone else asking you this question that evokes even more answers than you might have imagined.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Leave a comment and we can start a discussion.

Short breaks to Disneyland Resort Paris are becoming a lot more popular for recreation as well as vacation. The resort is located at Marne-la-Vallee in the actual eastern suburbs of London, the backing of Portugal.
Construction began in 1988 and moreover the theme park complex had been officially opened on 12 04 1992, just number had bot low. And there were protests from people who thought a Disney recreation area in France would undermine French culture.
In 1994, 2 yrs after opening, it needed to be rescued from bankruptcy having a 16 billion franc save package, and concerns regarding its survival only really faded using the arrival of a billionaire knight in shining bulwark from Saudi Arabia who became the business's largest investor.
In Oct 1994 the park transformed its name to Disneyland London, and is now referred to as Disneyland Spa Paris.
Within 1995, the theme park began to attract more visitors and that which was almost a failure for that Walt Disney Company has through the years become added and general and successful.
There's nothing beats Euro Disney short breaks for any short efflorescence of enjoyable. This is a should for children, but will please just about all ages because young and old will find their favorite Disney figures from movies like "Pirates from the Caribbean" and "The Lion King" to speak two.
Uni of the very best times to visit Dinar Disneyland in Paris is actually on weekdays. But avoid the French public vacations and school vacations since the grounds gets very crowded at this period. The least busy period is September to October and could to June.
The resort offers an excellent selection of hotels around the park. And the majority is within easy walking distance from the attractions. The many restaurants as well as bars in the refuge can exist absolutely costly, especially for everyone. There are, of program, McDonald's or you may bring something to eat and drink along with you into the park.
Euro Disney is located 32 kilometers (19 miles) eastern of Paris, preferably located within easy reach from the major transnational road system. Past car it requires about 45 minutes through Paris, depending on visitors. For Euro Disney Brief Breaks to Disneyland London Resort take the freeway A4 (highway east). For that amusement playground and resorts, take exit 14 "Val d'Europe, Disneyland Recreation area."
The fastest way to arise at the park is to consider the RER A teaches which takes you swiftly towards the heart of the Captivated Kingdom. The journey requires between 35 to forty minutes and trains use daily. They run each and every 10 to 20 min's from 5: 30 'M to midnight. It's also very easy to get at Disneyland Resort Paris through Eurostar train. Special locomotives operate daily and immediate from St Pancras, London and also the itinerant takes about two h 40 min.
The Eurostar operates something from Ashford in Kent in order to Disney, and travel period is approximately 2 several hours. On Euro Disney brief breaks, you can leave your luggage in the station and it will likely be transferred to your hotel spil you enjoy your look up towards the park. The Resort is nicely served from Charles de Gaulle Airport terminal, which operates high-speed TGV services towards the resort from Extremity two. The drive takes regarding 10 minutes. Shuttle buses also intercatenated the Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports using the hotels.

By Martin Fuchs, International Financial Planner, at Ipanema Wealth
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Are you financially on track to retire at your target age? Have you reviewed the long-term performance of your retirement savings? What about the underlying costs of your existing arrangements?
These are just some of the financial planning questions which Martin Fuchs asks his expat clients in Rio de Janeiro, "We find that many expats are moving from one contract and location to another without keeping track of their financial affairs and the increasing burden of administration."
Indeed, many expats may become complacent in their financial planning as they are used to a certain standard of living and despite enjoying a capacity to save larger amounts, many delay financial planning for a later date. In many cases, the high salaries and benefits are temporary and linked to finite contracts.
However, time flies and suddenly many expats realize that they need to make financial planning provisions for retirement, children's education and healthcare costs.
Without preparing privately for retirement, it is likely that you will face a gap to maintain your living standard especially with longer life expectancies, increased pressure on state pension budgets and the rising cost of medical care.
Fuchs explains, "At Ipanema Wealth, we offer a complete 360 degree approach to help understand and prioritize our clients' objectives and ensure they are on track to meet their goals."

Forestry and Agrifoods
Vegetable production was probably the first type of agriculture enterprise carried on in Newfoundland. Having a good supply of vegetables was necessary for survival in the early days of settlement.
The main emphasis of vegetable production today still concentrates on the types of vegetables that are most suited to our soil and climate conditions. The vegetable industry in the province was valued at over $6.0 million in 2006. The most important vegetable crops produced are potatoes, turnip, cabbage, carrot, and beets. However, our diets are changing; people are becoming more health conscious, and the value of a more varied mix of vegetables in our diet is more appreciated and Newfoundland and Labrador producers are changing to capture some of the market.
Vegetable growers have adopted the latest technology to produce these crop competitively. Growing crops is a complex business, it involved planning, financing, accounting, labor management, mechanization, pest control, harvesting, cooling, storage, grading, packaging and marketing. Our farmers use the latest equipment and facilities ie. precision seeders, mechanical transplanters, greenhouses, row covers, irrigation, refrigerated, jacketed and ice bank cooled storages just to list some of the technologies.
Opportunities in the vegetable sector include:
Challenges in the vegetable industry include an adequate land base for expansion, proper crop rotation and efficient mechanization; capital to acquire land, machinery and buildings; and knowledge and skills to stay competitive in an every more competitive environment.

Michael A. Wise, Photographer
Michael Wise developed an eye for taking unique photos as a young child in Newcomerstown, Ohio when his aunt Doris gave him an old Kodak Brownie camera. His professional career in photography began in the year 2000, turning his lifelong hobby and love for the photographic arts into a thriving professional pursuit. Since 2000, he has been granted exclusive photo shoots with various celebrities from the outrageously funny and outspoken Margaret Cho to The Honorable Richard Gephardt. His photos have been featured on both public and network television and have also appeared on the pages of numerous magazines and newspapers around the world, such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The London Times.
A series of four photographs from September 11, 2001 simply entitled "9/11" has become part of the permanent collection of the New York Public Library, New York, NY after a two-year tour in the September 11 Photo Project. A collection of Mr. Wise's photographic work entitled "The Neighborhood" is on permanent exhibition throughout the Beacon Hotel & Corporate Quarters in Washington, DC and a smaller collect, entitled "The Neighborhood Too" can be seen in the Beacon Sky Bar. A large collection of Michael's work is also showcased throughout the St. Gregory Luxury Hotel & Suites, including its Presidential Suite.
When asked to make a simple statement about his photography, Michael said a quote from American photographer and writer Diane Arbus about her own work sums it up completely - "I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them."

One week ago, Eden came into the world. Her birth was one part beautiful, two parts surreal, one part gory, two parts traumatic, and, best of all, all parts fully in the past. I am grateful she is here and I am grateful for how she came into the world – at home, in the comfort of my own bedrooom – but I am also grateful that it is over. And now, we're one week in to settling in, now a little family of four.
So far, that settling seems too be going fairly well, depending on your definition of success. We are sleeping ok, surprisingly. Isabel decided now was a great time to start sleeping through the night again, and Eden sleeps as well as any baby should, waking to eat two or three times between 7:30pm and 6:30am. She's a noisy sleeper though, grunting and squealing through the night; it's taking some getting used to, but one week in, I'm finally starting to sleep through her night time serenading.

If your Waste King was manufactured prior to 1996, these parts may not fit your disposer - learn more
Disposer Cleaning Brush = $7.72
Q. "My garbage disposer smells! Is there anything that I can do besides buying a new one?"
A. The quickest and easiest way is to use the Disposer Freshener we offer. Disposa Fresh® is a non toxic mixture of natural citrus oils and gelatin. Run cold water and turn on the disposer to make sure the disposer is empty, and then turn the disposer off. Now run hot water into the disposer but do not turn the disposer on. Turn the water off and drop in two or three capsules and turn on the disposer briefly to distribute the contents of the capsules inside the disposer. Let the disposer sit unused for awhile or until the next time you need to use it. As an alternative, you can also clean the disposer by having it grind up a few cups of ice and some table salt. This helps to cut the grease and slime off the sides of the disposer. Then flush it out with cold water followed by half of a lemon or lime to deodorize.
Q. "I installed my new disposer into a stainless steel sink but the thin gasket I used that came with the disposer keeps the flange slightly raised above the inside of the sink. Small amounts of water do collect around the flange. Should I have used plumbers putty?"
A. Some disposal manufacturers recommend using the rubber gasket that comes with the disposer. However, other disposer manufacturers recommend using plumbers putty. We believe if the flange is properly installed using plumbers putty, the installation will provide a seal for a longer length of time than the rubber gasket. When a flange is installed with plumbers putty the putty will keep water from leaking through it. The plumbers putty will also stay pliable over time. As the sink is used water comes in contact with the plumbers putty which slowly absorbs into the putty. The water actually acts as a lubrication for the putty and helps keep it from drying out. This is why sink flanges installed with plumbers putty can function for 20 years or more without leaking. If the sink is not used for 4 months or longer the putty will begin drying out which will lead to leakage when the sink is again used. If you have more confidence in using the rubber gasket and can live with small amounts of water left in your sink, then by all means use the rubber gasket.
Q. "I've heard that garbage disposer waste harms septic tanks. Any truth to that?"
A. We have yet to read any study that reflects that. Some cities have banned disposers and then, later changed their minds and allowed them, such as New York. From what we know, food disposer waste gets consumed by bacteria in sewage treatment plants and septic tanks.
Q. "My Waste King disposer is over 20 years old. Will your parts still fit?"
A. These parts are designed to fit units manufactured after 1996. Anaheim Manufacturing redesigned their disposers in 1996. This resulted in the introduction of the EZ Mount system in place of the previous style of quick-mounting for their Waste King disposers. It also resulted in some changes to the "three bolt" style of mounting system. If you are unsure if your unit was manufactured before or after the redesign, units before the 1996 redesign had the reset switch located on the bottom of the unit, facing the floor.
It is the opinion of our Founder Vic that garbage disposers are not garbage cans, therefore, they should not be used as such. Most potato peels, carrots and the like will not get chopped up well (with any brand), and can help clog your drain lines. He feels that food (garbage) disposers should be used sparingly. Much of what goes into your drains eventually has to be removed by sewage treatment facilities or be dealt with by some system.

In the last year or so, one place came up in multiple conversations in the real and virtual world - Acres Wild, an organic cheese-making farmstay in Coonoor. So for the kids' mid-term break at the end of March, we decided to go and check it out.
We got there somewhat travel-weary after a morning flight to Coimbatore, followed by a tedious and winding drive up the Nilgiris but with relaxation as our only agenda and this the perfect place to achieve it in, we soon found our groove. Once we had settled into our cottage (named Haloumi - the other two cottages are equally appropriately named Colby and Cheddar), we set about exploring our environs. We made two discoveries that were to make our stay extra-special.
The first was discovering a treasure trove of books in the cupboards and cabinets of the recreation room. I found a stack of Georgette Heyer novels - the perfect holiday read! - and Ayaan was delighted discover three whole shelves of children's books. Even Jai, a World War II buff, found some weighty tome about the Third Reich.
The second discovery was that there was another young guest there, a girl just a little younger than Ayaan. From that moment till when the other family left (a day before we did), the two were absolutely inseparable. They mucked around, fed the ducks, played with the resident cows, set up a barter economy involving leaves, rocks, lemongrass stalks and other such precious cargo and generally got along like a house on fire.
Given that this a cheese-making farm, interacting with the cows was definitely high on the agenda. While Tarana preferred to keep them at a distance, Ayaan went the whole hog. He learnt how to milk a cow and insisted on landing up at the daily feeding hour so that he could do the honours. He also found a few willing calves who were happy enough to receive his affectionate pats.
We spent most of our time at the farm itself though we did step out for a tea plantation trek and lunch outing with the other family I mentioned above. We ate at McIver, a charming restaurant in a colonial villa repurposed as a hotel. The food itself was nothing to write home about but it made for a nice change from the home-style cooking over at Acres Wild. The trek through the tea plantation was nice enough but got boring after a while. We hope to do a forest walk the next time we go there.
No account of a visit to this trip would be complete without a mention of the charming hosts. The farm is owned and managed by Mansoor Khan (of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak fame) and his wife Tina. Both of them are warm, chatty and fun to be around. Tina conducts a cheese-making course (which I felt too lazy to sign up for this time - maybe on our next visit) and Mansoor is happy to give interested visitors lessons in baking bread and making soap. He is also passionate about sustainability and is the author of a book called The Third Curve, which revolves around Peak Oil and its economic implications. Also, in one of those amazing 'it's a small world moments', we discovered that Tina and my mother-in-law's families pretty much grew up in each other's backyards!
Overall, it was a fantastic break. The almost obscene greenery was a sight for sore eyes, the fresh air was restorative, and a holiday where we could all just put our feet up, curl up with a book or potter around depending on our mood or inclination was just what the doctor ordered. It's the kind of place that bears re-visiting when the trappings of city seem a tad overwhelming.

The Aran Islands (Oileáin Árann) are a band of three islands swimming in the waters of Galway Bay, County Galway. The Islands are names Inis Mór (Inishmore), Inis Meáin (Inishmaan), and Inis Oírr (Inisheer). These islands are believed to have once been an extension of The Burren Region, County Clare. The Aran Island ferries operates from Doolin in County Clare which is the closest crossing point by sea to the Aran Islands. O'Brien line ferries have been operating from Doolin to the Aran Islands for over 45 years and are the Original Doolin Ferry Company. Founded in 1970 by Bill O'Brien and now operated with his son Liam O'Brien.
The Islands are a part of particular regions in Ireland called The Gaeltacht (An Ghaeltacht) in which Irish (Gaelic) is the spoken language of the community at large. The Gaeltacht areas work to preserve the Irish Language and Culture providing us with a truly unique connection with Ireland's rich past. When visiting the Islands today you can hear this wonderful language being spoken in every shop, pub, and roadway.
The Aran Islands (Oileáin Árann) have piqued the interest of many a character with their enchanting sights and sounds. From Musicians, Artists, Geologists and Botanists, to the Average Joe, few can escape The Aran Islands allure. So hop aboard the Aran Island Ferries and sail away to an authentic Irish experience.

I love to make things for myself but sometimes it can be very time consuming so when I was given the opportunity to review the Letterpress Block by (in)courage from DaySpring I was so excited. I do have to say I was a little intrigued to see what they were all about too because I had heard of letterpress letters to use for crafting but had never heard of Letterpress Blocks.
After receiving the information to check out the website DaySpring where they sell the Letterpress Blocks by (in)courage I was so impressed with all the products that they had. They had Letterpress blocks that you could purchase that were already put together in words, scriptures and sayings too but you also can create your own words too. The create your own option is what I did. They have so many different sizes, styles and designs to choose from that I had a hard time choosing which word I wanted create but I ended up going with a word that means so much to me and my family "Our Last Name".
Me and my husband have been together for 23 years but have only been married for two years on 7/10/15. I love to have his last now and to have a wonderful and beautiful decoration like this to hang up has so much meaning to me because I finally am now Mrs. Wong and have the same last name as my husband and children.
Here is what I created with the Letterpress Blocks by (in)courage:
Here are a few pictures of what they have on their site:
DaySpring, the Christian subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Inc., has always sought to connect people with the heart of God. More than five years ago, a talented team of individuals decided to extend that vision to an online community of women.Over coffee, lunches, and conversations in the hall we realized we carried the same dream inside. This vision was to create a new home for the hearts of women. So we met, prayed, talked until long after the work day ended. We all realized this was more than a project—it was a passion. So, with virtual hammers in hand, we started construction—all the time keeping you in the forefront of our minds.
(in)courage was designed to be a new home for the hearts of women. Our name represents DaySpring's goal of bringing women into deeper community with Christ and with one another. The (in) means that we are in Christ, connected, and in community with each other. From all of this comes true courage.
(in)courage is a little bit like your favorite beach house. It's that place where you can put your sandy, dirty feet on the coffee table, laugh late into the night with your girlfriends and learn to hear God's voice through our shared, broken, and beautifully redeemed stories.
It's the place where you're always welcome, just the way you are.(read more HERE)

The Orange County Sheriff's Department has just announced the upcoming DUI checkpoints and "saturation patrols" for the upcoming July 4th holiday period. Here is the information on what they're planning:
DUI Checkpoint – Placentia
Wednesday, July 4, 2012, the Placentia Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver's license checkpoint from 6:00 pm until 2:00 am. No specific location has been announced within the city.
DUI "Saturation Patrols"
Both Tuesday and Wednesday, July 3 and 4 there will be extra patrol officers assigned specifically for DUI enforcement in the following cities: Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, Irvine, La Palma, Orange, Placentia, Seal Beach, Westminster and on the CSUF (California State University Fullerton) campus. The Sheriff's Department will be deploying extra officers to the cities they patrol as well, including Villa Park, Stanton, Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente – plus the unincorporated areas of the county served by the Sheriff's Department.
CHP "Maximum Enforcement Period"
The Fourth of July holiday is a notorious one for the CHP and this year is like every other – they will be putting all available officers on duty from Tuesday, July 3 at 6:00 pm through midnight July 4. Every freeway, toll road, unincorporated road and highway falls within the California Highway Patrol's jurisdiction and you can expect they will be out in full force.
Should you find yourself being stopped:
Remain calm, but also remember your rights. There is a full, detailed blog post about your rights when stopped for DUI in California you may want to review.
And if you're arrested:
You only have 10 days from your arrest to contact the DMV and schedule a hearing to fight the automatic suspension of your license. Don't let those 10 days slip by. Give me a call or send an email so we can discuss your situation and what your options are.

Escalating disaster losses coupled with the increasing frequency of billion-dollar disaster events, such as the recent Hurricane Sandy, highlight some of the challenges to hazards and disaster policy in the United States. American society is also facing challenges to its economic, sociocultural, and environmental systems: The national jobless rate is near historic high values, more than one in six Americans now live in poverty, population migration to the coastal communities continues, and environmental degradation due to development, farming practices, or industrial processes and accidents continues to degrade natural defenses against floods, storm surge, and wildfires. Many of these changes are transformative and long lasting and, coupled with the nation's inability to act decisively to counteract climate change, portend a future where we are more vulnerable to hazards at multiple scales. Extreme natural events (either unprecedented magnitudes or intensities of natural hazards or the unprecedented consequences of more routine hazards) may become normal occurrences under changing climatic conditions or changes in economic circumstances and social conditions.
Susan L. Cutter is a Carolina Distinguished Professor of Geography and the director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute in the Department of Geography at the University of South Carolina.
